Cyrus IMAP Server: Notes
========================

-  appending: it's important that the index records for individual
   messages make it to disk before the index header indicating that
   they're there. so something like:

   #. sync messages to disk (or depend on ``link()`` being atomic)
   #. create new index records, flush to disk
   #. create new header if necessary (adding new user flag), flush to
      disk
   #. flush cache file
   #. update index header, flush to disk
